Outdoor Spaces

Want to see some platypus? The Bears is a short walk from Geeveston’s Heritage Park. Geeveston is also known as the forest town and Heritage Park is right next to the town centre, bordered on its western side by the Kermandie River, which is home to a large and frequently sighted population of platypus. Indeed, if you take a stroll along the Platypus Walk, you are guaranteed to see some of these not-so-shy mammals.

Geeveston’s Heritage Park is great for families and nature lovers. This large green common is home to many native species of flora and fauna and other than the river, there are comfortable walkways and timber boardwalks, the Platypus Walk, a playground, covered seating and toilet facilities.
